FAQs
How soon after a storm should I schedule a roof inspection in Huntland?
We recommend calling us as soon as it is safe to do so—ideally within 24–48 hours after the storm passes. Early inspections help document damage before it worsens or temporary fixes by others hide critical evidence your insurer may need. Our Huntland-based crews keep emergency slots open after severe weather, so we can usually be on-site the same or next day.
What signs of storm damage will your meticulous inspection look for?
Our Haag-certified inspectors examine the entire roofing system, not just surface shingles. We document shingle bruising, granule loss, lifted or missing tabs, hail impacts on metal components, wind-creased shingles, torn flashing, chimney or wall step flashing displacement, gutter dents, decking deflection, attic moisture, and water-stained insulation or rafters. We also photograph collateral damage—siding, HVAC fins, fences, and soft metals—to strengthen your insurance claim.
Can your team assist with insurance claims for storm-related roof damage?
Absolutely. We provide a detailed inspection report with annotated photos, measurements, and repair estimates formatted to Xactimate, the software most adjusters use. Our project manager meets the adjuster on-site, explains the findings, and follows up with any additional documentation your carrier requests. This advocacy ensures you receive the full coverage your policy promises and speeds up approval for repairs.
How long does the storm damage restoration process typically take?
Once insurance approval is in hand, most asphalt-shingle roof replacements in Huntland take 1–2 days, while repairs on metal or specialty roofs can vary from a few hours to several days, depending on material availability. If structural decking or interior drywall also needs attention, we coordinate all trades so the entire restoration—roof, gutters, and interior finishes—can usually be completed within 1–2 weeks.
Will temporary repairs be made immediately if you find active leaks during the inspection?
Yes. If we encounter openings that allow water intrusion, our crew installs emergency tarps, seals flashing with roofing cement, or replaces missing shingles on the spot. These temporary measures prevent additional damage while the claim is processed and materials are ordered. All emergency services are fully documented and can be submitted to your insurer for reimbursement.
